Thus said opening is concentric with section 1 of said basin a while the back of the basin otherwise section 2, corresponding to the bidet is covered and the covering extends forwardly so that when the watercloset is used the fecal matter falls directly into enclosure 3 and cannot touch the forward end of the sloping portion 8 nor become deposited on the rose 8 of the bidet, so that this latter remains completely unaffected. The object is to ensure that as a result of the disposition of both sections (1 and 2), the closet is essentially hygienic, so much so that immediately after the water-closet has been used and the corresponding flushing completed, the bidet may be used by raising seat 13 which on turning about hinges 14, exposes section 2 as is clearly shown in Figs. 1 and 3.

vBy this means the result is obtained that in the same' basin a are found the necessary means for prophylaxis of all kinds of anal diseases and consequences constituting the combination within the maximum of hygiene and comfort, and so it is that the water-closet bidet referred to, lends itself specially for sanatoriums and hospitals, notwithstanding that they are equally apt for private residences, especially in flats where bathrooms are built in the smallest possible space, etc.

It will be clear to those skilled in the art that in applying the invention in practice various modications in the structure and design may be made without thereby departing from the nature and scope of the present invention and all such modifications are held to lie within the scope of the appended claims,

Having now particularly described and specified the nature and scope of this invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, what I claim is:

l. An improved combined prophylactic watercloset and bidet comprising in combination a hollow body, having a front wall, side walls, a rear wall and a bottom, said bottom having a perforation located therein nearer said rear wall and forming a portion of a Siphon, an upwardly dlrected retaining wall extending along the forward lip of said perforation and merging at its ends into said sidewalls, a shelf like projection having a convex-like water-shedding upper surface and extending forwardly and downwardly from a line near the upper part of said rear wall its free end terminating below the liquid level determined by the height of said retaining wall and forwardly of the latter, a channel provided in said projection terminating at the surface of said shelf in a spray rose located in the upper surface of the projection, said channel being connected at its other end to a controlable supply of water, and a seat for the closet hinged to the upper end of the rear wall and having an opening so disposed that in its closed position a vertical plane drawn through the rearward portion of the inner edge of said opening will pass beyond the most forwardly extending portion of the free extremity of said projection, so as to avoid deposition of fecal matter therein.

2. In an improved combined prophylactic water-closet and bidet, according to claim 1, a passage within said rear wall communicating at its upper end with a water supply pipe and with a channel provided within the upper edge of said body and having a plurality of discharge nozzles directed inwardly of the body, and at its lower end with a conduit passing around the perforation in the bottomvand terminating at a forward point of said bottom in a backwardly directed arm opening into the interior of the body.

3. An improved combined prophylactic watercloset and bidet according to claim l wherein the shelf like projection extends widthwiseV from one side wall to the other.

4. An improved combined prophylactic watercloset and bidet according to claim 1 wherein the shelf-like projection has a substantially plane downwardly inclined rear portion and an abruptly downwardly curved front portion.
